- Last night’s 90210 (1.9 million viewers) decreased in the ratings compared to the previous new episode two weeks ago to a season-low.
- The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Candy Spelling (wife of Aaron and mother to Tori and Randy of Beverly Hills 90210 fame) will in fact be participating in Ryan Seacrest’s new reality show, Bank of Hollywood.
- Just a reminder I will be interviewing Lee Norris (Mouth, One Tree Hill) later this week. Since I’ve already interviewed him, I figured this time I would use reader questions. Please comment here with your question by Friday morning. I cannot promise it will be asked but I’ll do my best!
- If you’re in the Wilmington area, One Tree Hill has put out a call for “fresh faces” as they need a greater-than-normal amount of extras for some “larger scenes.” Wonder what they’re filming!
- Sophia Bush (Brooke, One Tree Hill) and Austin Nichols (Julian, One Tree Hill) will participate in a USO tour in Turkey and Germany.
- E! Online says no affiliates have pulled out of airing next week’s Gossip Girl but that could change.
- The Daily News has an article on Gossip Girl, which basically says the show is failing because no one’s talking about it anymore. I think the show is failing but there’s plenty of people talking about it. The buzz is what’s keeping it alive, but the article says there isn’t buzz at all. I disagree and take issue with a couple of other things in there as well. See if you can spot them!
- Tonight is the Paley Center panel on Dawson’s Creek. You can get live updates by following the Center’s Twitter account. But hold tight! I’ll have my own DC goodness in the coming weeks.
- This is also a good time to remind you to check which DC stars are on Twitter via my directory. This tweet from James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek) about the panel is pretty funny.
- After the panel, Busy Philipps (Audrey, Dawson’s Creek) tweeted about comments she made regarding Chad Michael Murray (Charlie, Dawson’s Creek; Lucas, One Tree Hill). According to several different live tweets from reporters, she didn’t say the nicest things. Later in the event, Van Der Beek paid him a back-handed compliment.
- Kevin Williamson (creator, Dawson’s Creek) also tweeted after the event.
- TVShowsonDVD.com posted a joint reminder and warning regarding the Dawson’s Creek Complete Series set, which comes out next week. Apparently there’s a chance some of the discs could be scratched.
- Staying In posted a great list of top Dawson’s Creek episodes.

Random Thought
19 09 2009I’ve said in previous posts that James Van Der Beek (Dawson, Dawson’s Creek; Dixon, One Tree Hill) and Chad Michael Murray (Lucas, One Tree Hill; Charlie, Dawson’s Creek) were the only 2 teen drama stars to have significant roles on two shows.
But there’s a third I usually fail to mention.
Paul Johansson, best known as Dan Scott on One Tree Hill, starred in 13 episodes of Beverly Hills 90210 as John Sears.
While other actors have certainly appeared on more than one teen drama–and sometimes on the same show in more than one role!–these three have had the most significant gigs.

Mark Schwahn on Naley
20 08 2009“You know, when we started the show, we were coming on the heels of “Dawson’s Creek.” They were shooting their finale when we were shooting our pilot, so when people saw our first episode, they were sure that Haley and Lucas would be together, because Dawson and Joey had [a similar dynamic]. But we had always designed it as Nathan and Haley. In my mind, Nathan and Haley have always been a cornerstone of the show.”
